been suffering as a hen-pecked husband over a long period of time and
this is not a side issue:

It's the sort of issue that is surely being addressed by people like
Pastor Adeboye, the Rev. Commander Pastor Ebenezer Obey and perhaps
more importantly, the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs and Social
Development.
Fortunately, Dr. Wigwe is not a Muslim and so is not under a cloud of
suspicion that he was acting under legal cover, to some extent
provided by Sharia and that he had merely exceeded the limits set by
Islamic Law. And by the way here the Islamic law is not being
vilified but explained in a more compassionate light:

So the question that remains is what does Nigerian Law say about
domestic violence?
And Kenyan Law?
To Abdul Bangura: you talk about Italy and and the widely perceived
to be gentle Swedes, but what can you tell us about the African
Diaspora in the United States with regard to violent wife-husband dis-
agreements?
And apart from Islamic education and respect for Sharia etc. what
global remedy do you suggest for the majority of people who are not
Believers?
